**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

Kompromat
n.—Russian for "compromising information"

This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump.

It is based on exclusive interviews with dozens of high-level sources—intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine.

Among them, the book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset?

The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, and it supports that conclusion backs with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first “spotted” Trump as a potential asset, how they cultivated him as an asset, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points that were published in three of America’s most prestigious newspapers.

Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that:

According to Yuri Shvets, a former major in the KGB, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré who Shvets believes was working with the KGB. Trump’s decision to do business there triggered protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, thus launching a decades-long “relationship” of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power.

• Trump’s invitation to Moscow in 1987 was billed as a preliminary scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official, General Ivan Gromakov. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for ‘deep development,’ recruitment, or for a meeting with the KGB handlers, even if the potential asset was unaware of it. .

• Before Trump’s first trip to Moscow, he met with Natalia Dubinina, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives.

Der Teil über Jeffrey Epstein und Gillian Maxwell

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

During the past 5 years I have read/listenend to most of what appeared to be reliable books about Trump. I have also read Relentless Pursuit by Bradley J. Edwards, the attorney, who represented some of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. I have read several books about Putin, his methods, his ties to the mafia etc.
Still, Craig Unger’s American Kompromat has insights to offer that go beyond all these other books. His angle is the question what someone might have on Trump to exercise a powerful influence upon his politics and personal attitudes. How come Trump is so obviously on the side of Putin’s interests? How was it possible that Jeffrey Epstein’s proven paedophile crimes, were exchanged for a minor charge in an illegal, clandestine plea bargain in 2008? What was on Epstein’s secret video documentations of his many famous guests and their encounters with underage girls on Epstein’s yacht, Epstein’s island, Epstein’s mansions? Why did William Barr confirm Epstein’s prison suicide in spite of numerous discrepancies? What motivated William Barr to support Trump in his attempts to demolish the American democracy? These and other questions are convincingly answered in this well-researched, thoroughly documented account that spans 40 years of Trump’s life until the period of his denial of Biden’s election to the presidency. It does not contain anything about the riots at the Capitol. That must have happened when the text had already gone into print.
I found it very worthwhile to add this book to my sources in order to understand what makes Trump tick. Even with him gone now, the protagonists that enabled and/or controlled him are still around, doing their dirty work in new directions. More than ever, it is important to look at the bigger picture and Craig Unger offers us a front seat.

Who were the puppet masters behind Trump?

The story is captivating. But for a documentary sounds too emotional and not well justified.

Fine
